Balluff continues the expansion of its safety product line with the release of its new non-contact, RFID safety guard locking switch. The safety guard locking switch combines non-contact, coded-transponder safety technology with a mechanical solenoid locking function to create a unique, high-capability solution to meet the highest levels of safety required by international standards.
Bender Inc., part of the Bender Group, the global leader in ground-fault protection, is proud to announce the release of its most advanced Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR) Monitor, the NGRM700. This protective relay offers industry-leading protection providing additional safety on high-resistance-grounded transformers and generators.
Are you concerned with the reliability of your system grounding? Bender offers an advanced device that allows continuous NGR monitoring to provide peace of mind that the power system grounding is intact. The neutral grounding resistor monitor NGRM700 measures the resistance of the NGR for High Resistance Grounded Systems (HRG). Its monitoring capabilities include NGR current, voltage and continuity, phase-to-ground voltage and these details would be accessible through its web server, Modbus TCP/IP, and Modbus RTU
With PSS67 PLC, the automation company Pilz is launching the first safe PLC controller with protection type IP67. PSS67 PLC can be installed outside the control cabinet, directly on the machine. This means that users can save space, reduce their wiring work and enjoy greater flexibility when implementing decentralised control architectures.
Balluff’s newly released SmartCamera takes inspection and identification applications, in color or monochrome, to a higher level.
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has released Tricon CX version 11.3, the most powerful version of its EcoStruxure Triconex safety instrumented system.
Today’s stringent food safety rules require production systems that are easily and thoroughly cleanable to a very high standard, yet extremely reliable. That’s the key deliverable of Festo’s MPA-C valve terminal, the centerpiece of its Clean Design series of products for hygienically critical food production systems that get frequent, rigorous cleaning, often with corrosive agents.
Along with AC charging in accordance with IEC-61851-1, the controller includes a DC residual current monitoring system. The controller is automatically reset when residual currents arise, increasing the availability of the charging station. An automatic vehicle connector unlocking system is also included, which ensures that the connector can be removed without any problems in the event of a voltage failure.
Balluff’s new break-off magnetic mount with tag holder allows for easy integration of RFID systems. Using a magnetic connection, they are ideal for presses where frequent tool or size changes are required.
The new PCB headers of high-temperature LCP plastic, suitable for THR soldering, are ideally suited for integration into the SMT process. The headers, with pitches of 3.45 mm and 5.0 mm, each feature two or three slots for PCB connectors with pitches of 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm.
Process and electrical operators have traditionally accessed their data through two separate systems, making timely and proactive decision-making difficult. A new offering from Rockwell Automation helps solve this challenge.
Balluff’s new IP69-rated inline universal connector was designed to withstand exposure to corrosive chemicals and pressure wash-down, making it ideal for the harsh environments found in food processing and pharmaceutical applications. This is the latest addition to Balluff’s growing catalog of universal connectors.
Whether on the assembly line or machine: where safety in the production area is concerned, the safe rope pull switches PSENrope are a proven, reliable solution. PSENrope devices switch off functional processes via manual action. PSENrope provide maximum safety when it matters: the E-STOP function can be triggered at any point along the rope.
The latest generation of Festo’s popular CRDSNU round stainless steel pneumatic cylinders boasts new variants and installation possibilities for extended and contaminant-free operations. Based on the ISO 6432 standard and ideal for operations in harsh environments or where frequent and effective cleaning is a must, CRDSNU now offers options like an extremely long-life dry running seal as well as self-adjusting end-position cushioning.
Balluff is excited to introduce face savers — a game-changing accessory to extend sensor life. The new-to-market face saver can be added to a flush mount sensor to increase the life of the sensor by protecting it from impact damage due to over travel and hostile application environments.
Moving from monolithic automation systems for complete production plant to modular-enabled, more flexible and service oriented plug and produce automation solutions will allow faster process implementation, ability to scale the capacity by numbering up and down the production and improved capability and speed of product changes.
